Does This Need NSFW?

Hi, I know some of you may have read something close to this from me earlier on, but I am now reaching a point in a series where I really need to know. They are going to include some imagery that I would imagine would be considered disturbing to readers. The episode in the following link is a precursor of what's to come and it is going to get worse from there, not gore-wise, but in depictions of atrocities: https://tapastic.com/episode/378968

Please, can anyone give some feedback on whether or not the NSFW warning label should be kept on such episodes? I don't want to censor my storytelling without a good enough reason in doing so. Thank you.

If you would feel uncomfortable showing the page to your boss or someone's sweet ol' granny, then probably best to put it behind a NSFW filter. ;d It's not that you're censoring your storytelling! Your story is still there, it's just a fair heads-up to someone who might be reading in a public setting.

If it's minor enough, you can also just put a header at the top of that episode that says "warning: This episode contains minor blood/violence/language etc", if you're worried about a big "NSFW" filter being too vague.

I actually wouldn't put it under NSFW, but still better safe than sorry.

Yeah, I didn't mean to say that it was censoring; I was tired when I wrote that so I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it. What I meant was: Should I having the story readily available for view without a filter? I wanted to know if what's to come would be too intense to show without warning, since a filter would kind of mess with the story's flow and possibly scare off some people.

Either way, thank you for the input, I appreciate it!
